I know, it's a wacky theory, but just wondered what you have got to say about it.

The plane has a theoretical range, but planes aren't filled to brimming with fuel because it costs fuel to carry fuel. Planes are normally filled
with enough fuel to get them to their destination, plus a reserve to account for deviations and hold-ups. In this case the plane did not have enough
fuel to get to Antarctica.

As far as the hollow earth theory, there isn't any evidence at all. Given the fuel situation, we really don't need to address it.

2 possible answers:

1: On route there are several remote deserted islands, some of them have a landing strip (some date back to WW2). If prepared well enough, it could
land there and refuel.
2: Fraud and corruption is everywhere, especially in Asian countries. He could have had more fuel on board than the books say.

I was looking into the possibility myself when I realized that some of the best isolated islands for landing the plane were a bit north of Antarctica
- I checked on Google Earth, there are some places to land in the lower Indian Ocean.

You assume too much. I know all about high jump I just see no correlation between a missing airplane and a story. I want you to tell me why YOU think
the missing plane would be in Antarctica

Well, as I stated, what if the pilot believed in the hollow earth theory?
There are indications the plane headed that way and there are 2 options.

1: There is nothing there, the plane crashed in the eternal ice and won't be found for a long time. The winter season is starting right now so it
could already be under many feet of snow if it crashed.

2: There is something there, either the earth is hollow, or there is some sort of portal (which has been rumored also) and they have reached their
destination. In that case it will be very likely we won't hear from them again even if they would return.

I like that theory and I can easily keep an open mind about it. If they do find that plane it will not be surprising if it's in a giant hole in the
ice with everyone dead. But the pilot did not seem suicidal which is what he would be risking by flying there and he took nothing to survive those
harsh conditions with as far as we know. Even if he landed in Antarctica the passengers probably went crazy and beat him to death with their luggage
and then froze to death. I hope they find it soon. I'm very curious like you.

The thing is, you are broadening your theory. No longer is it just a couple of pilots, but now we have a significant infrastructure involved either
way. In the first instance you have an unnamed airstrip on an unnamed island that, although dating to WW II, can miraculously handle a modern wide
body "heavy" 777. So exactly what airstrips are out there as possibilities? Also, someone has managed to get fuel to the air strip, which has all
sorts of logistical issues, or b) You have to have a corrupt ground crew that over-filled the airplane and has gone undetected even after being under
scrutiny since the incident. And after that you have to ask yourself,

"Why?" Let's pretend there IS a hole in Antarctica. Why would you fly an airplane full of Chinese citizens there in the first place? Why a 777?
There's really no upside potential here. A cargo plane full of goodies and few people would make a lot more sense. The overall problem with the
theory is that there's no real reason to do what you suggest was done. Add to that the logistical difficulties in pulling it off and you have a vast
conspiracy of sorts, but to little purpose. Of all the possibilities so far put forth, it's right up there with a tractor beam from a UFO or a secret
laser beam weapon.
